Bro your step by step videos make me want to start making changes to truck . Keep up the great videos ! ✊🏼

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Yeah man you totally should!!!!

[@f150g33k]

Dude these look legit man! Might have to get me a set at some point. Very thorough video as well. 👍👍👍

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thanks man! I LOVE these things I think my truck looks way better with them

[@granvilleanderson8037]

PO I’ll

[@Mtndude76]

I've been looking at the same lights for my 2006 f150 black with clear lens, they look good on your truck, thanks for making the vid..

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Are you looking for something like this? amzn.to/3CBHNl6

[@jongregory185]

Still watching your videos as I have my 06 still not a 2020 Lol. Finally got new headlights so needed this video. Thanks bro!!!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Haha thanks for sticking around Jon!

[@billyfelix1353]

For the turn signal bulb they make Silver shaded bulbs that blink yellow, so you don’t get the Sunnyside up egg look and they are perfectly legal.

[@charliewaters7752]

I put the same style of headlights on my 08 F150...they are crap. I had to take them back off and reseal them. Moisture built up on the inside. Plus I had to swap out some of the seals. I did not luck out like you. Anyways, love you truck, man. I've been trucking mine out for awhile now. She's looking real beastly. Feels good to do the work yourself, ya know. Keep it up, bro.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Sorry to hear that Charlie! Nothing beats that feeling of a great looking truck and knowing you did the work yourself!

[@BigManAlaska]

You say actually a lot 😂 but I'm not here to down play. So I'll say it myself because those new lights ACTUALLY changed the entire look of that truck. I'm sold...🤙

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Dude every time I rewatch my videos I'm like counting how many times I say actually and it drives me crazy LOL

[@BigManAlaska]

@@AndrewDoesLife ordered a set with LED replacement bulbs today. Good video and I appreciate your ability to experiment with Amazon products. Especially since I have the same generation F-150.

[@nickcox8958]

Replaced my fog lights, which took 13 years for the seals to go bad with cheap ebay fog lights. Took all of 3 months for them to get water in them.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Geez! Hopefully that won’t happen to these

[@nickcox8958]

Ebay really is hit or miss with this type of stuff. They look great on your truck I always wanted to do get some headlights with black housings. I really hope you don’t have the same experience as me.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Yeah I went back and forth and it took me awhile to find ones that had black housing but not like blacked or smoked out lenses which I didn’t want! Every review in those said they couldn’t hardly see anything at night. I might just buy some sealant from Home Depot just to make sure these don’t get moisture

[@nickcox8958]

That’s what I was gonna recommend some silicone should do the trick

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Nick Cox yeah honestly these look way better than I thought they would do I really want them to work out

[@ryanreyes7028]

I ordered the pair of headlights and taillights off eBay for real cheap I got a black 08 Ford 🤙🏻

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Heck yeah dude! Guna look 🔥

[@senorpa5070]

Good video. Lots of small but helpful tips. Thanks

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Senor Pa happy to help!

[@Iggyx12x]

I got these with the back ones as well. 👍

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Nice! It's a great addition for a cheap cost

[@myopinionpal8880]

Do you have a video showing how you adjusted your headlights so that you won't be blinding oncoming traffic?

[@davidscull354]

Great presentation, will be buying soon with your help and link

[@AndrewDoesLife]

David Scull thanks David! I appreciate your support.

[@kenfett7070]

How are these holding up for you? Have you had any leaking or condensation problems since it tends to rain there often? I'm looking into replacing my 07 FX4 headlights now and to be completely honest, I trust your opinion more than anyone. Thanks for posting great videos. Very informative and with great passion for your truck.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hey Ken, I would recommend sealing them once you get them, but other than that they are great headlights! I have had no issues with them after sealing them myself

[@kenfett7070]

@@AndrewDoesLife thanks for the quick response. Will order today and delivery tomorrow! Keep up the great videos. Like the Army green raptor liner video.

Thanks mike! I appreciate it

[@Voiceinthewoods]

i just got some bar steps for my 05 looking up side flares and now headlights and bull guard. and rims.i like your rims i was looking at same ones on a truck site. wanted to see who all used various tires before lifting them get an idea what looks good and what doesn't.about to put it in shop get clutch replaced.i got a question what to do with your gauges goes stupid on you.

[@23TheFiasco]

Hey man. I'm thinking of getting an 11gen f150, 04-08. I see you recommend replacing the spark plugs. Is there any other known issues with this gen that you know of? I also heard about these engines having issues, is that true? Is it better to get the 08 if I can find one? Ive heard that the last gen is usually the best one to get for any car.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hey man, as far as typical problems with this truck goes, the spark plugs and the oil pumps are usually the main problems with the 5.4 triton v8 engine. They also made this truck with a 4.2 and a 4.6 liter engine option so as far as those are concerned I’m not sure if they have the same issues as the 5.4 triton engine. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the ultimate expert on these trucks but I can say from experience if you take care of them they will last for a long time. As long as it was taken good care if I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. You are correct that usually the last model is the best model in any generation or car or truck.

[@froglobster]

23TheFiasco I have an 08- passenger exhaust manifold leaks because bolts were standard factory- The manifold warped and I’ve already had it changed twice with the mechanic didn’t know you’re supposed to use an aftermarket hard and stainless steel bolt check out Ford Tech Makuloco KZbin channel he is an expert on the five point four litres

[@mid-west_man]

@@froglobster Yeah he's help me a lot, smart guy and knows his stuff.

[@froglobster]

Mid-west_man Aside from the exhaust issue which I still got to attack-and the spark plugs - the cam phaser situation that everybody puts down the block about is not that bad -the oil changes are imperative though because the holes in the head the port holes to deliver the oil to the cam phasers are so small they can get carbon or worse plugged up then your cam phasers will rattle and cost you $$$$$$$-Don’t be afraid of these 5.4 I love the power and I used to pull a trailer for years and years

[@dannyherrera8294]

Get after market led running lights!

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I’ll look into them!

[@weightsoccer123]

Are these headlights legal? Since there is no reflective chrome in the housing?

[@lewdracer]

Would you do projector retrofit, like budget cheap

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I’d consider it! I watched a few videos on KZbin about it and it looks like it could be a fun project

[@vvvdog200]

I GOT MINE FROM EBAY TO.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

eBay has some solid choices for auto parts!

[@vincentejasso583]

That Grill Though! Where did you get it?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I bought a stock black grille off of eBay and custom painted it myself! :)

[@ryanfishydays]

@@AndrewDoesLife what kind of paint did you use for the grille? What paint would work best if I just wanted to paint my grille solid black?

[@PEHD100]

very helpful video

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Thank you! Happy to help :)

[@marktotty430]

Who manufactures those?

[@marklane2449]

What model 2004-2008 f150 are these headlights for? Ford Heritage, Lariat, etc..... I want to buy them from your link but I'm not sure if they will fit.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

It is an XLT

[@ethanhammack5311]

Idk if you’ll ever see this comment but after a year, any problems with moisture getting in?

[@VictorPerez-mx1bi]

They look awesome.. do you have the link to get some for my truck ?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Here ya go amzn.to/2J6YFUE

[@htxsupercrewon22s]

Hows the light output at night? I hear alot of these aftermarket ones make out put bad

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Well these ones still have a clear housing. Only the background plastic is black. There was no difference in output of light

[@daltonmaletsky7227]

when it says quantity 1 does that mean only 1 headlight, or does that mean 1 set of headlights

[@AndrewDoesLife]

1 set of headlights haha

[@ZipSnipe]

Looks great, enjoy your videos, what part of Florida you in?, I am over here in Daytona, me and my buds bring the F-150,s to the beach every now then, more the merrier

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I’m down here in Jupiter. That’d be awesome man! Not too far away, thanks for the support!

[@matthewb2382]

Are they still good? Like no yellowing/moisture, I’ve been trying to find headlights that are actually good for weeks? Great video.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hey Matthew! They are great quality headlights, I would suggest sealing them yourself when you get them to ensure the moisture never gets in. Other than that, they are really good headlights and I would buy them again

[@matthewb2382]

Andrew Does Life thanks man great help!

[@corbindallas6287]

Where did you get that plastic trim that's underneath your f150 5.4 triton badge.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hey Corbin, you can find these parts on Ebay. The link isn't my exact ones, but it's pretty close and should be what you're looking for. www.ebay.com/itm/99-07-Ford-F250-F350-Super-Duty-Billet-Aluminum-Custom-Fender-Faux-Vents-Polish/333074384444?fits=Model%3AF-250+Super+Duty&hash=item4d8cc7c63c:g:Ss4AAOSwepdcZjfL

[@lewdracer]

Also watch out for moisture with these cheap headlights

[@albertoflores3409]

What do you recommend doing to keep moisture out of the head units?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I tell everyone to seal the headlights themselves with some sort of sealant from like Home Depot before installing the headlights. It’s super cheap and in my case has prevented the moisture issue from arising

[@albertoflores3409]

@@AndrewDoesLife I love your videos! Thank you for the help man is there sealant you use that you recommend?

Andrew Does Life thanks man appreciate it. Killer truck.!! I have a 07 150 an your videos just save my wallet from bankruptcy lol

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Haha! I'm glad I could help man. Truck parts can add up real fast!

[@moparcharger8642]

Badass truck man!.. what do you think on a 06 with 137k miles for $5k. I’m scare just because of the 5.4 triton motor lol.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Hey Mopar, I'll tell you what I tell everyone haha these trucks are great trucks as long as they've been maintained well. The major things I would want to know before buying the truck you mentioned was: Have they changed out the factory spark plugs yet? Do you have records showing you got your oil changes when you were supposed to? The spark plugs would be the biggest cause of concern for me as it could set you back a ton of money to replace them if they are still driving around with the factory ones in. They are notorious for breaking in half and causing a mess when trying to replace them. These trucks can easily last to 200k and plus if you take care of them. Good luck buying your truck!

[@moparcharger8642]

Andrew Does Life thanks!!. Would it be easy just to take it to ford dealership to change the spark plugs? O is it too expensive?. Or you wouldn’t trust them?

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I don't want to speak for all dealerships because there are good ones out there... However if it were me I would not do that. I was quoted like $1,200-$1,400 to replace them and they told me they were going to do all this extra stuff to access the spark plugs which just wasn't true. I only took it to them because I didn't have the time to replace them myself.. I wound up paying my buddy who has his own auto repair shop to do it for like $400/$500. Replacing the factory ones will be a bit pricey regardless, but taking it to a dealership to get replaced is just asking to get ripped off lol

[@froglobster]

@@moparcharger8642 Ford goes by the book and can allow/charge 1 hour per plug like mom n pop ops can do too/ even a broken plug for any shop is 20-25 mins top. But prick shops can go by the book that’s the problem- go deeper because 5.4 plugs and exhaust manifolds are common

[@jathorne12]

I put them on my f150 and not even a year they were all fogged up.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

The sealant from "factory" on these lights are typically poor quality. I would always recommend sealing them yourself, takes about $10 tops from home depot and works great!

[@Zoso981]

I've gone thru two sets of these headlights. They were both garbage. I sealed both sets the best I could with silicone and both sets filled with condensation and/or water after about a week.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Dang Gary I am sorry to hear that! Which brand did you buy?

[@BigBabyBuba1980]

Great video

Glad you enjoyed it Richard!
